Poaching ring busted

[TOBY]

Anybody see any public info on the poachers busted in 20c. I have heard all the  transplant sheep were killed, hundreds of deer and cattle poached. The 300 tags this year hopefully will help the unit rebound. All being sold to black market meat shops. Been going on for years. Just thought I would ask.

Could explain both why Jennifer actually photographed all my documents when I met her out in the middle of nowhere and why I haven't seen a decent buck in yrs out there.

Wow.  I haven’t seen it, but would like to.  Seems crazy.

I tried to look it up on Google just now but all that comes up is a recent sheep poaching near Tucson and 8-10 stories of a deer poacher named Blake from Heber.

If only there was a way to take pics and vids of what happens out in the woods when nobody is watching..

If it's the investigation that has been in the works for a few years now then it's actually a large group of individuals with foreign names and birthplaces...I'll leave it at that until the press releases come out.

If you had to guess which restaurants the meat was going to which style would it be?

The same places accepting trunkloads of fish taken from community waters and canals.
